I just got this totally awesome new BE on Friday! Its a sand with sand python Be Mine and its *the* creamy bag I've been hunting for! I fell in love as soon as I pulled it out of the dust bag and have been more and more in love ever since...its brand new so still pretty structured but the leather is so squishy and yummy and it has this almost perfect glaze on it (like a sugar glazed doughnut, lol!) and kinda this really subtle tonal variation which is perfect 'cause I'm such a visual person...Its also sorta veiny and just so, so wow.

It reminds me a lot of a Bal leather (can't remember the name) I saw last year. Anyway, I'm usually creeped out by the thought of snakes but this python is so not creepy-its luxe and really, really special-totally what makes the bag pop out as something unique and it just reeks expensive. Its also really soft and just so pretty. Its possible one of my most favorite bags of all time-everything about it is seriously perfect...love it!!!

I've been carrying it mostly in my hand/on my arm but its super comfy on the shoulder too...I just can't get over what a perfect color it is...not yellow at all, not brown. Really just a pure, gorgeous cream and totally what I've been dreaming of and hunting for...I had a stone MAB last year and a cream MBMJ but the color was kinda boring and started to feel grannyish after awhile..I think the exact color of this together with the python really adds that extra, kwim? Ack, I'm in love!

Okay, well enough of my rambling, here's some pics! Taken in outdoor light so the color is pretty accurate...sorry for the poor modeling shots but we were running out to pick up dinner and no, I'm not usually *this* tan (lots of outdoor activities lately!) and yup, I seriously need highlights because my this is my natural hair color and its way too "organic" black, lol.

Lovely, GPG! What a gorgeous color! The leather looks just scrumptious! And I love it with your coloring, your dark hair really makes that cream color stand out!

Thanks tllloveshim! :) Now its making me dream even more of a maxi cream pebbled Hold Me, lol...it never ends huh? :)

tlloveshim · Sep 28th, 2009, 11:30 PM

Oh, no, it never ends! I always think, "this one is it, just this one and I'm done!" But something ALWAYS comes along that I have to have! LOL! I'm dreaming of a cream Hold Me too! Not sure if I'll actually do it but I do think it'd be lovely!

Awww, thanks! :) I really like the size...I know someone who is a little taller than I am and has the mini and she loves it so I thought maybe I'd like the mini better too but so far I'm liking this size. Weird because lately I've been feeling like the full size Love Me is too big for me and have been looking at midi sizes for everything...I think the sand leather is kinda soft so it doesn't feel so heavy and bulky, kwim? Its surprisingly really light. I can totally see it puddling even more as I use...I'm finding that sheen leather gets really puddly which I love.

Is it the lightest leather that BE has or is there something lighter?

bonniekir · Sep 29th, 2009, 01:22 AM

Thanks!

I don't know at all about the Sand, but I was thinking of getting one next year for Summer. I would like to know how the leather works out with wear, so please keep up with updates

*suzi* · Sep 29th, 2009, 07:30 AM

Soooo pretty.

It already looks kind of squishy and less structured (which I love). I'm usually not a python girl either, but that bag looks super classy and not creepy at all. It's so much fun seeing everyone's creations. Yours is gorgeous!

Odebdo · Sep 29th, 2009, 11:17 AM

OMG!! That bag is drop dead gorgeous!!! It looks devine on you!!!

Congrats on getting the bag you dreamed of!

TropicalGal · Sep 29th, 2009, 01:06 PM

Sand is an incredibly beautiful color! You are brilliant for choosing it! And you look gorgeous with this bag. Really really well done!

glamourgirlpink · Oct 1st, 2009, 06:09 PM

Thanks y'all! I've been having an awful week and feeling pretty yucky so this was totally a pick me up. And its always so awesome to have fun bag chatter in this forum!!

pixiechic · Oct 3rd, 2009, 03:32 PM

Beautiful! The color does indeed look like a glazed Krispy Kreme - yum! Be sure to add your pics to the Be Mine reference thread if you haven't already?

elizat · Oct 7th, 2009, 10:19 AM

That is very pretty! I really love the color and leather combination.
